SOLAR HEAT IN INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES

Introduction
-
What if you need more hot water?
-
Large scale solar thermal systems
• What happens if an entire hotel needs hot water? It becomes
inefficient to have many small SWH’s. It’s better to have one big
integrated system.

Large scale solar thermal systems
Currently world’s largest system is at Princess Noura Bint
Abdul Rahman University near Riyadh in Saudi Arabia:
• 36,305m2 of flat-plate collectors
• 25MWthermal
-
Different collector operating temperatures
-
Flat-plate Evacuated tube
Most common collectors

Collectors
Parabolic trough Linear Fresnel
• Temperatures from 60˚C up to 400˚C, some claim even higher • Only makes use of direct component of solar energy
• Therefore requires tracking

• Flat-plate
• Evacuated tube
• Unglazed collectors
• Linear Fresnel
• Parabolic trough
• Compound parabolic collector (CPC)
• Usually does not
need tracking
• Many, but not all, need tracking
• Simple, inexpensive • Complex, expensive
• Lower temperatures • Higher temperatures

What it is solar process heat?
• Thermal energy
• Anything from hot air to hot
water, steam and hot oil
• Typically larger scale
systems
-
• 1/3 of final energy demand in
industry is for heat
• Temperature ranges are
suitable for solar
• Can be combined with solar
cooling

It’s important to note that solar cooling should also be considered,
especially if used in combination with process heat!
